I am gonna save this and repost it everytime a Bloomberg article shows up on here.
That loser, Cliff Barnes couldn't tie his shoelaces without his mama to help him!It was that fucker Cliff Barnes
I saw one called xboxragnor last night that i genuinely couldnt believe is was a real person. Cult like behavior.The best part about this whole thing are the Xbox sycophants on Twitter who pretend to be insiders were like "huh cat's out of the bag, I heard about this months ago"
LOL stfu
You're just mad that come Wednesday, Sonic the Hedgehog is an Xbox exclusive.Yeah. What worries me in Gaf is that rumors here are taking as a fact for console warriors. They never doubt anything, just go straigh for console warring. And when its proven to be fake, people then move to the next one.

He's no Dick Jones, I'll tell ya that for nothin'!
8 pages over debunked rumor.
But will they double down on their fake story like Jason did.Nice to see Bloomberg Japan manufacturers just as much bullshit as... well every other Bloomberg office, it seems.
because we all want it to happen so bad lol8 pages over debunked rumor.
If negotiations are sensitive, of course Square is going to come out and try to squash any rumors that might affect those.
because we all want it to happen so bad lol
I mentioned this in another thread but seems more relavent here:
Random thoughts: Can we all agree Square is more or less worth somewhere between 9-12 billion? Sony is in a position right now where almost every quarter they make about 3-4 billion dollars right? So after this quarter they will have 50 billion cash on hand. You give sony a couple years at this rate and your look at 60-70 billion dollars on hand. Microsoft makes alot more than that but theyre not waiting for income to do what they want as they have it now.
Square have a great relationship with sony, Nintendo is ok, and until outriders on gamepass have essentially ignored xbox for almost 5 years now. Negations take years and like i said, in a few years if sonys trajectory stay the way it is, theyll have some serious cash to throw around too. So when sony has the best selling console, the actual fanbase, and a good relationship, at what point does SE just not become worth it for MS because all of those things will be a factor in a few years time? IS SE worth 15-20 Billion to MS? I doubt it. Thats not even factoring in other outside companies like tencent or whover. Am I wrong? Probably!
I went do the Xbox "Insider" Rabbit hole on twitter. Its a complete inversion of reality.I like how Square saying they are not for sale is somehow a secret hint that they ARE for sale.
Like lol we might as well just start wholly fabricating these rumors ourselves.
That's interesting if true.Good question. I mean why do they want to be bought anyway? its not like they are hurting. someone must have made an offer.
werent there rumors that Phil bought Bethesda because Sony was trying to buy Starfield and other bethesda timed exclusives which forced Phil's hands. Well Sony has FF7, FF14, FF16 and Project Athia timed exclusivity so maybe Phil is like fuck this. Im going all in.
Sony 2020 FY profit about $10 billion US. Assuming SE sells for about the same, that would be 100% of their annual profit.
Not going to happen.
I know.That's not how it works lol
I know.
I'm just taking a page out of Sony fans' books saying the Xbox division is so bad on profits they can't do anything, yet they buy studios all the time including Zenimax for $7.5 billion, and have cheap GP deals.
It's Friday, and people who aren't good at actual news have to rumormonger to make the day.
But hey, two anonymous "bankers" said that, must be true.
Of course, we can expect the usual carousel of "I knew too!" and corny opinion pieces on this throughout the weekend.
PS: some need to be reminded that not all businesses *want* to be bought. It takes two parties to have a sale.
Nah if Nintendo buys, no more PC, game engines designed on mobile specs design.
MS is the best place imo.
Imagine Bethedsa and SQ and Avalon and probably Bioware as partner.... all these on GPU Store day 1....
So far this week weve had Konami and square. Im guessing we'll jump back to sega then maybe take 2 or something.Oh bummer. Can we guess on which developer are xbox fans going to fantasize emptying MS coffers on?
What if I told you most gamers don't want a GP type service.What if I told you that Gamepass is on PC and soon also on pretty much every device not called Playstation?
Lately?Bloomsburg has been knocking it out the park with terrible reporting lately.
Lets take the warchest meme out of the equation and just ask ourselves: Would Square forsake its relationship with sony, nintendo, and Japan as whole for a partner theyve never really had any real success with for an unproven, untested business model?What if I told you most gamers don't want a GP type service.
Just like I posted . People are stupid . Honestly these rumors are starting to piss me off . Every fucking idiot go to the net and start something out of his ass and it get posted here. Working at Bloomberg means nothing . We all know about Jason and his shit and he works there too .

Hopefully not. Sony is the best bet. I just hope Sony if they bought them would continue to launch games like DQ on switch and pc.Lets take the warchest meme out of the equation and just ask ourselves: Would Square forsake its relationship with sony, nintendo, and Japan as whole for a partner theyve never really had any real success with for an unproven, untested business model?
Ahh ok. I didn't know because I don't follow them. They need to be called out then. Thanks for the info.Lately?
This has been going on for a decade, and not just while reporting on the gaming industry. It's all industries they report on.
Ahh ok. I didn't know because I don't follow them. They need to be called out then. Thanks for the info.
Remember when the ran articles saying that PS5 manufacturing was a dumpster fire and PS5s were going to overheat, low yields on chips etc?Nice to see Bloomberg Japan manufacturers just as much bullshit as... well every other Bloomberg office, it seems.
I thought about it more... I don't know if MS would actually sell the Xbox brand. The Xbox brand is the only leg of MS that is considered "cool" and has pull with younger ppl. Their line of Surface products are moving in that direction, slowly. They need info/data on younger ppl. The Xbox brand gives them that.I wonder if they will sell xbox brand or they will just dissolve it like they did with Mixer if that hypothetical scenario happens.
Speak for yourself lolbecause we all want it to happen so bad lol
